lyrics

We held hands in the river just like we did everyday, everyday
For the rest of our lives but my ring fell off
And I can't seem to find it
And your pretty face in the mirror haunted me everyday, everyday
For the rest of my life
'Cause they say a man's not complete without a wife
But I don't believe everything I hear

And you looked at me with dusty eyes and I
Couldn't help but to break down and cry
You're my everything and I won't let you die
But you won't tell the truth for very long

And I quoted Wilde out of an inch of breath
While you changed the channel again
I've gotten boring and I can't see why
And the child starts crying in the other room
And you throw your hands up and with a look of doom you say
"I hate you, get out of my house"
Dear, didn't we build this one ourselves

And you started to mumble with a scratch in your throat
And you gave up and walked away and I wrote
A poem that I recite everyday
And you turned on the TV in the other room
Even though you know that I hate it
You know it's not up for discussion 'cause I always win
And I won't let you start to argue
'Cause I've gotta get some sleep
Yelling is nothing but disruption
And I just want to leave
And while I'm running out the door
You whisper "don't leave me"
